Active Power Begins New Business Model to Support Monetization of Intellectual Property and Create Long-Term Stockholder Value

Company Changes Name to P10 Industries Following Completion of Asset Sale

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - Nov 19, 2016) - Active Power (NASDAQ: ACPW) today announced it is changing its name to P10 Industries, Inc., following the previously disclosed sale of substantially all of its operating assets and liabilities to Piller Power Systems, Inc. (formerly known as Piller USA, Inc.), a subsidiary of Langley Holdings PLC.

With the disposition now complete, P10 seeks to maximize long-term stockholder value through the monetization of non-core intellectual property assets not purchased by Piller and acquiring well managed, profitable businesses.

"We are announcing a significant milestone in our evolution today," said Mark A. Ascolese, who is continuing with the company as president and CEO of P10. "With completion of the sale to Langley behind us, we will focus on monetizing our non-core patents and acquiring and operating profitable businesses.

This capital should enable us to strengthen our balance sheet, aggressively market and generate value from our patents and begin acquiring well managed businesses, ultimately leading to greater shareholder value."
